What In The Weekend With Nikki Woods: The Son Also Rises

PLAY AUDIO
Will and Jaden Smith star together again as father and son in the new M. Night Shamalyan film “After Earth,” opening on Friday. The movie, set in a futuristic world, has Jaden’s character trying to save his ailing father. The first time the two worked together in “The Pursuit of Happyness,” the film made $100 million. Although Will didn’t star in the remake of “The Karate Kid,” he did produce his son to another $100 million dollar movie. Sounds like Jaden is a chip off the old block. The other big film this weekend, “Now You See Me,” stars Morgan Freeman and Common as thieves with a unique heist style. Here’s what else is happening this weekend.
